Perfect Simulation From Nonneutral Population Genetic Models: Variable Population Size and Population Subdivision. [PDF]
, 2006 We show how the idea of monotone coupling from the past can produce simple algorithms for simulating samples at a nonneutral locus under a range of demographic models.

Stochastic Models in Population Genetics: Genealogy and Genetic Differentiation in Structured Populations [PDF]
, 1994 PhDThe theory of probability and stochastic processes is applied to a current issue in population genetics, namely that of genealogy and genetic differentiation in subdivided populations.

Explaining spatial heterogeneity in population dynamics and genetics from spatial variation in resources for a large herbivore. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Fine-scale spatial variation in genetic relatedness and inbreeding occur across continuous distributions of several populations of vertebrates; however, the basis of observed variation is often left untested.

Population Genetics with Fluctuating Population Sizes [PDF]
Journal of statistical physics, 2017 Standard neutral population genetics theory with a strictly fixed population size has important limitations. An alternative model that allows independently fluctuating population sizes and reproduces the standard neutral evolution is reviewed.

Limiting Genotype Frequencies of Y-Linked Genes with a Mutant Allele in a Two-Sex Population
Mathematics, 2021 A two-type two-sex branching process is considered to model the evolution of the number of carriers of an allele and its mutations of a Y-linked gene. The limiting growth rates of the different types of couples and males (depending on the allele, mutated

Evolutionary dynamics in fluctuating environment
Physical Review Research, 2020 Temporal environmental variations are ubiquitous in nature, yet most of the theoretical works in population genetics and evolution assume fixed environment.

Understanding evolutionary and ecological dynamics using a continuum limit
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Continuum limits in the form of stochastic differential equations are typically used in theoretical population genetics to account for genetic drift or more generally, inherent randomness of the model. In evolutionary game theory and theoretical ecology,

The molecular clock of neutral evolution can be accelerated or slowed by asymmetric spatial structure. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Over time, a population acquires neutral genetic substitutions as a consequence of random drift. A famous result in population genetics asserts that the rate, K, at which these substitutions accumulate in the population coincides with the mutation rate ...
